Hey guys! I'm going through a rough time right now because I just got off the phone with the doctors just a little bit ago. I would LOVE anyone's advice right now! Please give advice from your experience. I'm so nervous. So let me tell you a bit of my story. I got pregnant with my second child in march of 2016 and when they did my Pap Smear the results came back abnormal and that I have HPV. I freaked out then but the doctor said not to worry about it and that they would retest after I gave birth because it could just be abnormal from me being pregnant. Well that made it less stressful my whole pregnancy but then now that I got my Pap test redone the results came back as abnormal again and that they want me to come in and get a coloscopy done. I'm so nervous. I don't know what to expect. I don't know if this is going to lead to cervical cancer or what. Someone please help and give me advice and peace of mind.

HPV is very common, there are many different types of the virus and only a select few are considered high risk meaning they have the chance of developing into cervical cancer but most do not. As long as you do the recommended follow up you will be fine. Abnormal paps and colonoscopies are very common. No need to be stressed.
